The authors regret that a typographical error occurred in the Materials and methods section concerning the reported dosage of peracetic acid. The published text states “0.005 % v/v”, whereas the correct dosage used in the experiment is “0.0005 % v/v” (equivalent to ∼ 2 mg/L peracetic acid). This error does not affect the results or conclusions of the study. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
